before Justice Barrett in the Supreme
Court in chambers, to have the Globe
Mutual Benefit Association restrained
from carrying on its business, upon
the ground that the company was in
solvent, and that the insurance of in
fants, as practiced by the association,
is unauthorized by law. Judge Bar
rett handed down his decision to-day
in the case. He says the business OF
the company is limited to that of life
and casualty insurance upon the CO.
operative and assessment plan. Only
members who accept the contract OBJ
legations of such membership can be
thus insured. Infants are not eligible,
as they cannot make a contract. Their
parents cannot insure their children's
lives as members in such cooperative
or assignment companies. Only mem
bers can be insured, and an infant
cannot be a member OF the society
and vote. The company's regulations
are illegal ON the subject of insuring
children, was the conclusion of the
Judge. Judge Barrett concludes by
saving that this branch OF the COM
pany's business must be enjoined.
PhofOgrnphing the Train Robbers.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. Sired Witrock,
Thomas Weaver, and w. w. Haight,
the latter OF whom was brought here
from Louisville yesterday, were photo
graphed at the four courts to-day.
These are the only members of the
train robbers gang who will be prose-
cuted in this city. All the others who
were arrested have been released with
the exception Of Oscar Cook, who will
answer to the court in Kansas City.
All the stolen money found with
Kinney, Mrs. Haight, and others, has
been recovered, and as they knew
nothing of the robbery until their ar
rest, the Express Company considers
that nothing is to be gained by prose-
cutting them. AS to Fotheringham's
guilt or innocence, the detectives and
officials have little to say. 1t is pretty
generally believed, however, that Wit
rocks contemplated official statement
OF the robbery will remove all suspi-
cion that Fotheringham wasin any way
voluntarily connected with the rob-
berry.
blings.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 3.-Dispatches re-
ceived in this city this morning from
Westminster, Frederick, Emmetsville
and other towns in Western Maryland,
stating that the inhabitants were con-
siderablv excited over the violent
shocks and land rumblings which had
awakened them from their sleep, and
continued at intervals from IL 80 last
night till early this morning. No
damage was done as far as can be
learned, but as the country is mount
a%inous, the people are apprehensive OF
grave trouble. Congressman Shaw,
who lives at Westminster, says he
was awakened by what sounded like
the blasting of rocks, and pictures
were shaken from the walls in other
houses. He heard two distinct shocks
in rapid succession. The mercury at
Westminster was four degrees below
zero this morning.
Serious Railroad Accident.
GALVESTON, Jan. "a special to
the News from San Antonio, says:
The officials and employees OF the
Southern Pacific railroad refuse to
give any information concerning the
collision last Friday evening, by a
freight train and construction train,
in a deep cut near Devils river, II
or 10 lives were lost. Nearly all the
persons killed being Mexicans. The
names of the killed could not be as
certained, as the men connected with
the road refuse to give any information
whatever. Four or five dead bodies
from the wreck were brought in last
evening and several * the manned
passed through en- rost5 for Columbus
for treatment at the railroad hospital.
When the trains collided they caught
fire, and two cars and one locomotive
were burned. Most OF the injured re-
ceived their injuries by being burned.
A wealthy French Lady Murdered.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. ga special to
the Picayune from Donaldsonville,
says: The most ~atrocious murder in
the annals of this place was perpetra-
ted yesterday in the very heart of the
town. Mrs. Boulanger, a wealthy
old French resident, was murdered by
an unknown tramp, who struck her on
the head with some blunt instrument.
Robbery was doubtless the incentive
for the crime. Mrs. Boulanger had
no faith in banks, and it was generally
known that she kept her money
secreted in the house. The murderer
has not yet been arrested.
